They should all do very well after this hard prune. Give them some alfalfa pellets.

Thanks Plasticgarden, I'll try doing that; I checked on the Net and got to know that giving them something soft to chew on should help too, as they're teething. I'm gonna stuff some old socks with pieces of soft cloth and freeze them for a while and give them that for chewing. It's supposed to relieve the pain/irritation that goes with teething. Sheltiemom, thank you for thinking of us! Although I don't post here all that much, I think of you quite often, and Jas and Coco know that you're the one who gave them the name Pumpkinettes :) I hope your babies are doing well. Yes, we found good homes for the other five in Dubai, and Mum is in Abu Dhabi (we shifted here from Dubai about 3 months ago); she's with a colleague of DH's, and is doing really well. I love that lil girl. We boarded them all for 4-5 days when we went to Oman - and they returned with a giardial infection; was a nightmare pilling them - only Coco takes her pills without fuss. When Pumpkin was nursing the little ones she got real thin, but after we got her spayed and the kittens weaned, she's put on weight and looks awesome now. I'll upload some recent pics and post 'em soon. Jas-purr has been having problems off and on after the Flagyl treatment; now Jas's stool has been sent for testing for Tritrichomonas foetus (there was blood and mucus in the stools), Coco has been throwing up and getting the loosies too after the spay procedure - she was on Metacam, and that's probably what's doing it. Well they're both on probiotics and chicken&rice meals and I'll start giving them a bit of pumpkin from today onwards; I'm really thankful to Lisa for the info on pumpkin therapy for cats. She has started a separate thread for it, it's right on the first page. Hmm I don't usually talk so much in the mornings LOL - but just wanted to tell you, I got a job at the vet's clinic just yesterday! I'll start on Sunday - can't wait!!

It's "Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge!" And, the planet one that my children taught me is: "My Very Excellent Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas" (they wish!) How about this one, Talley Sue, to help you with the lengths of the months. If you put your two closed hands in front of you, and start with the left knuckle as January (which has 31 days), then the small indentation beside it is February (short month) then the next knuckle would be March (31 days again) and so on. July and August will both be the left and then the right index knuckle, and they both have 31 days... it really works. Sounds confusing, but it's very simple. My cute hubby still uses that. Oh, and "dessert" is the one you want a second helping of (the double helping of ss's).

I love it.I am so thankful my 15 yr old son is a good kid. MOM Shelley
